ASA IPS-SSP_20 upgrades

A new  7.3.4.-E4 code has came out for the cisco IPS modules. I'm going to upgrade a few IPS modules to see what's new.

IPS-SSP_20-K9-7.3-4-E4.pkg

What I found out  that was shocking, if you execute  password recovery from the cisco ASA cli  using hw-module password reset, the  IPS downgrade & reverted back to to a earlier versions of code.

I think this has to do with the recovery partitions I will test a few more and see what comes up

Here's the current upgrade 7.3.4-e4

The main reason this upgrade the IPS modules, was to test the  AAA radius access & to see if radius-acct was included. It seems like it  has not be added in version 7.3.4-e4.
